Members of the medical staff of Miles Memorial Hospital support the continued fluoridation of the community water supply.

We have heard a lot of back and forth about the value of adding fluoride to the community’s water supply in the weeks leading up to the referendum vote on the issue in Newcastle and Damariscotta, Nov. 8

To the Editor:

I want to thank Buzz (Pinkham) and Bill (Clark) and their army of volunteers who made Pumpkinfest 2011 another success for our community.

To the Editor:

I urge a “No” vote on Question 2 Nov. 8. We do not need more gambling in Maine. The question was not settled when we established a lottery.

To the Editor:

I certainly applaud the good intentions and information of the dentists speaking out in favor of fluoride. Clearly there is some support for their position, if mainly for children rather than adults.

To the Editor:

I look forward to discussing with my friend, David Kolodin, the disastrous ways that our country reacted to the criminal hijacking and crashing of four planes on Sept. 11, 2001.

Sam has a great responsibility, but he’s been quite remiss. This is not his fault, however, it’s strictly mine.

I simply haven’t taken him out for the required visits to the hospital and/or health centers, primarily because it’s somewhat difficult to arrange a ride for both of us…

To the Editor:

There’s something dignified and noble during Memorial Day, in our recollection of those who died in public service, that’s entirely missing in the next holiday remembrance for those who died; those who lived in service to God.

To the Editor:

As Wiscasset residents consider a potential withdrawal from RSU 12 we must consider the financial facts. The state sets a minimum every town has to pay towards education.

To the Editor:

Let me remind all you good people who signed the petition to get the Save Same-Day Voter Registration referendum item on the ballot that was only half the battle.

To the Editor:

I would like to say thank you twice. Thank you, Big Dave, for working so hard to feed our kids healthy food at Lincoln Academy. (“Big Dave leads LA transition to healthier dining,” LCN, 10/6/11, Page 1)

To the Editor:

I agree that there are pros and cons related to fluoride in our drinking water.

To the Editor:

The second big event in the life of an alewife is underway here in Bremen. The young of the year (and some adults) are headed out to sea.

To the Editor:

Yes, almost all of the 65,000,0000 gallons of water Damariscotta and Newcastle pay to fluoridate each year goes down the drain, fluoride and all, without ever touching teeth.
